Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Comment Request; 

Reformulated Gasoline and 

Conventional Gasoline: Requirements 

for Refiners, Oxygenate Blenders, and 

Importers of Gasoline; Requirements 

for Parties in the Gasoline Distribution 

Network 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Reformulated Gasoline and 

Conventional Gasoline: Requirements 

for Refiners, Oxygenate Blenders, and 

Importers of Gasoline; Requirements for 

Parties in the Gasoline Distribution 

Network’’ (EPA ICR No. 1591.26, OMB 

Control No. 2060–0277) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval in accordance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.). Before doing so, EPA is 

soliciting public comments on specific 

aspects of the proposed information 

collection as described below. This is a 

proposed extension of the ICR, which is 

currently approved through 12/31/2014. 

An Agency may not conduct or sponsor 

and a person is not required to respond 

to a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before November 3, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2014–0548 online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), by email to a-and-r-docket@

epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC 20460. 

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change including any

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: Gasoline combustion is the 

major source of air pollution in most 

urban areas. In the 1990 amendments to 

the Clean Air Act (Act), section 211(k), 

Congress required that gasoline 

dispensed in nine areas with severe air 

quality problems, and areas that opt-in, 

be reformulated to reduce toxic and 

ozone-forming emissions. (Ozone is also 

known as smog.) Congress also required 

that, in the process of producing 

reformulated gasoline (RFG), dirty 

components removed in the 

reformulation process not be ‘‘dumped’’ 

into the remainder of the country’s 

gasoline, known as conventional 

gasoline (CG). The Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated 

regulations at 40 CFR part 80, subpart 

D—Reformulated Gasoline, subpart E— 

Anti-Dumping, and subpart F—Attest 

Engagements, implementing the 

statutory requirements, which include 

standards for RFG (80.41) and CG 

(80.101). The regulations also contain 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements for the production, 

importation, transport and storage of 

gasoline, in order to demonstrate 

compliance and facilitate compliance 

and enforcement. The program is run by 

the Compliance Division, Office of 

Transportation and Air Quality, Office 

of Air and Radiation. Enforcement is 

done by the Air Enforcement Division, 

Office of Regulatory Enforcement, Office 

of Enforcement and Compliance 

Assurance. This program excludes 

California, which has separate 

requirements for gasoline. 

The United States has an annual 

gasoline consumption of about 133 

billion gallons, of which about 30% is 

RFG. In 2013 EPA received reports from 

255 refineries, 60 importer facilities/

facility groups, 51 oxygenate blending 

facilities, 25 independent laboratory 

facilities, and the RFG Survey 

Association, Inc. under this program. 

Section 211(k) of the Act requires the 

Administrator to promulgate regulations 

establishing requirements for RFG to be 

used in gasoline-fueled vehicles in the 

nine specified nonattainment areas, and 

opt-in areas. The Act specifically 

provides that recordkeeping, reporting, 

and sampling and testing requirements 

are among the tools EPA may use in 

enforcement of the provisions, and also 

provides that EPA must develop an 

enforceable scheme. Sections 114 and 

208 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7414 

and 7542, authorize EPA to require 

recordkeeping and reporting regarding 

enforcement of the provisions of Title II 

of the Clean Air Act. 

Information claimed as confidential is 

handled in accordance with EPA 

Freedom of Information Act regulations 

at 40 CFR 2. Most of the information 

submitted is claimed as such, and the 

forms have a simple check-off for this. 

Data submitted electronically are 

encrypted. Hard copies are housed in a 

secure area. Electronic files are in the 

same area on a secure data base. 

Form Numbers: Reformulated 

Gasoline and Conventional Gasoline 

reporting is now required to be 

completed electronically. The reporting 

is to be made through The EPA Fuels 

Programs Reporting Forms: http://

www.epa.gov/otaq/fuels/reporting/

index.htm. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Recordkeeping and, in some cases, 

reporting are required by the following 

gasoline marketing-related industries, 

SIC codes: Refiners (2911), importers 

(5172), terminals (5171), pipelines 

(4613), truckers and other distributors 

(4212), and retailers/wholesale 

purchaser-consumers (5541). NAICS 

codes: Refiners (324110), pipelines 

(486910) and terminals (424710). Not all 

NAICS codes for the responsible 

reporting parties were found. These are, 

however, parties which are obligated to 

report: Importers, truckers and other 

distributors and retailers/wholesale 

purchaser-consumers. Some refiners are 

importers but that is not always the 

case. Many of the required records are 

generated and maintained currently in 

the normal course of business. Without 

the required records EPA would be 

unable to enforce the Congressionallymandated RFG and anti-dumping 

requirements. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory per 40 CFR Part 80. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

4,068. 

Frequency of response: Quarterly, 

Annually, on Occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 127,041 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $41,007,628 (per 

year), includes $12,177,318 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: Compared with 

the ICR currently approved by OMB, 

there is no change of burden hours. 

There is an increase in the total burden 

cost due to the update in labor salaries.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems
